PNW Zwanze Day 9/20/14

Dislike

 

I thought I saw hop and vibe listed somewhere.

 

Probably info from previous years. Apex has done a good job at playing the Shelton Bros game for awhile, it wouldn't surprise me if this had been a specific goal.

 

I'm looking forward to this, love the amount of room apex has. inb4 $15/6oz pours

 

I like that Apex is much more convenient for me to get to than Hop&Vine. Just hope they take some lessons from how to run this event smoothly. H&V did a great job last year.

 

Because WA is no place for rare beer.

 

I called one of the Urban Family reps to ask & was told that they aren't involved & that I need to contact Shelton Bros, so I called there & left a message.

I know people from Urban Family have posted here, it would be nice if they could chime in & offer additional insight.

 

What do you want them to tell you, that they don't have enough influence to get a WA event?

 

You're right. It isn't curious at all that they wouldn't do an event in a major city with a fantastic beer culture. Better to sit around & speculate.

 

minor correction: there will be one north of the border happening, BC location is still TBA.

 

Alibi room?

 

I hate to complain when Cantillon is on, but last year's event certainly wasn't one of the more memorable events of the year. Also, could the quality of those Zwanze glasses been any lower?

 

Zwanze this year is 3 year old iris mixed with some kreik, then dry hopped, correct?

 

Yes. With Brambling Cross hops.

 

First, this years Zwanze sounds awesome!

Second, I'm bummed this went to Apex instead of H&V (and I'm sure I'm in good company here), especially since schedule conflicts kept me from attending until this year. I'd much rather support H&V, and based on my experience with other events there and what I've heard about past Zwanzes, i have no doubt they would have done a killer job with this again this year.
